2016 Baby! We're going to be ok.

It says it's about law of attraction. Have you ever looked into that ancaire? I have heard of it and seen meet up groups about it but never looked into it.

I have heard of it, Julie. Like Painter says it, the popular versions seem to be focused on materialism - riches, success, etc. I know you're not particularly religious, but I am. Law of Attraction is somewhat of a secular version of what the Bible has to say. They work together quite well.

I haven't been successful, completely, pulling it all together on prayer alone - I think there are things to be learned from every school of thought, regardless of whether one is a believer (in that thought) or not. I find helpful things in all religions and popular theory.

I'm going to check into it because it's 1.) Free. 2.) Highly Recommended by Experts in Well-being 3.) I'm curious.

I just thought I'd pass it along, in case someone else is curious, too.

I love the idea of Law of Attraction. Trying to implement it. If nothing else it forces you to think positively and who couldn't use that right now.

I am awesome at the Law of Attraction, I can do it for "things" and my family jokes about my ability all the time. Seriously, I can "find" objects and material things almost like magic.

First of all, the law of attraction IS awesome. The hardest part of achieving is believing it's possible, and imagining that we are worthy of that type of success. Zig Ziglar says there are 4 reasons people don't set goals, and fear is the biggest. He talks about the archer that is the best in the world, but if you blindfold him and spin him around he isn't so tough, because it's hard to hit a target you can't see...but that it's impossible to hit a target that doesn't exist.

Second part I have to quote a comedian I forgot the name of, anyone remember this bit? He talks about how he quit smoking pot, and a week later he thought he was suddenly endowed with some type of ESP super-powers! He was like "shoot, I'm running late for work, where did I put those car keys- WAIT- WAIT- (hand to head)- I've GOT IT! They're in my pants pockets upstairs! WHOA! HOW DID I DO THAT!?!?!?!?"

Good stuff

Still nicely detached today?

So the ebook I read... sounds like set goals, believe in yourself, be positive, re-evaluate sometime in the future.

Seems like good advice, not sure it will solve everything. If you do watch the webinar or whatever it's called, let me know if you get anything our of it.

Hope all is well with you!

I have just shocked myself. Something has changed in me. I've mentioned before that H has to work from home. I've moved all his belongings into his office, so that he has access to his belongings and his office, that's it.

Yesterday, he decided to move his office to another room in the house, recently made empty by my belongings being moved into storage. I was mildly irritated he didn't ask me, but it wasn't a big deal so I let it go. I was more than mildly irritated when he stayed here until 10pm last night, setting up his new office.

He's only supposed to be in the house to work, yet here he is - rearranging rooms, and staying until past working hours. Today, he's still moving stuff around - but I don't see him working.

I've flipped my schedule around so that I don't have to interact with him at all. I stay up all night and sleep during the day. This is inconvenient, but great for my peace of mind. He's been really nice the last couple of days - acting excited to see me when I walk in a room, saying hello and asking other kinds of questions.

Thankfully, V called it for what it is, a "sweet cycle". I'm doing what he wants. I'm working on terms and submitting it back and forth through our lawyers, so that we can avoid mediation. Of course he's being nice to me! Had she not pointed it out - I probably would have been very excited by his sudden change in demeanor.

So today, I get up and walk in the kitchen. He's there, working on a lamp. Oh, he's so happy to see me. "Hello!" Immediately followed by, "How are you doing on the numbers?"
I told him I was doing fine, and just stopped talking.

I started dinner, and while I was working on it, it hit me what he was doing - he was being nice because I was cooperating! Then, I got a bit irritated. He wasn't "working", he's tinkering around in the house, moving offices, and putting himself in a part of the house I'm going to have trouble avoiding.

So I went to his office and asked when he was leaving. He looked shocked and asked why. So I explained that I'd turned by schedule upside down to avoid interacting with him, and his sudden longer hours were interfering with my time to myself. I was nice, just very matter of fact.

I am listening to an H in full temper tantrum mode. He's in his office slamming drawers and muttering under his breath. LOL I am strangely unaffected by his actions. I see the manipulation for what it is. He's shocked I'm not thrilled to have him around. So am I.

My motivation? I want him to stick to our agreement about when/why he is at the house. He usually just does what he wants. My L had an agreement drawn up to protect me. I want to stick to it.

I'm tired of being manipulated by him. The less of him I have to see, the better I do.

I'm just not as thrilled to be in his company as I once was. I don't want to have to interact with him. I'm honestly shocked that I've gotten to this place, yet here I am.

I really think it's a good thing.

I think it's a good thing. Especially if you can remain nice and firm and friendly. If it makes you behave in a way that doesn't feel true to you, then it has quit being a good thing.

Have a great evening!
